As is often the case at Roland Garros, the focus of the 2021 French Open will be on Rafael Nadal. The tennis legend owns 13 French Open titles and will aim for his 14th when the event begins on May 24. Nadal is a sparkling 100-2 all-time at the French Open and, as such, will be one of the top 2021 French Open contenders even as he turns 35 years old this summer.
Nadal begins the tournament at -120 in the latest 2021 French Open odds to add No. 14 to his trophy case. Elsewhere in the 2021 French Open bracket, world's No. 1 Novak Djokovic is +300, while Stefanos Tsitsipas and Dominic Thiem are +600 to win according to William Hill Sportsbook. Before you make any 2021 French Open picks for the men's champion, you need to see who Sean Calvert is backing.
Calvert is the famed handicapper who called Stan Wawrinka winning the 2014 Australian Open at 60-1. In 2019, Calvert took down a huge score on Dominic Thiem winning Indian Wells at 80-1, among many stunning calls. Anyone following his picks is way up.
Now, Calvert has scrutinized the latest French Open 2021 field and released his coveted best bets to win it all. He's sharing all his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top 2021 French Open predictions
There is plenty of debate about Nadal's value as the favorite, but Calvert sees no value in Daniil Medvedev. "Honestly, there's nothing I like on clay," Medvedev said. "There's always bad bounces, you're dirty after playing. I really don't enjoy playing on clay." Between admitting that hesitancy and his substandard results on the surface, Calvert is fading him in the French Open 2021.
If you squint, you can still find some positive results for Medvedev on clay. In fact, he reached a Masters 1000 semifinal on clay in 2019, toppling Novak Djokovic in the process. Still, Calvert sees no value in Medvedev, even with the world's No. 2 player getting +2500 odds at William Hill Sportsbook.
How to make 2021 French Open picks
Calvert loves several long shots, including one who would pay out in a big way. He is "peaking at the right time after having missed much of the early season due to injury," Calvert said. He's sharing who it is, and all of his picks, here.
So who wins the 2021 French Open? And what enormous long shot could take the crown? Visit SportsLine now to see Sean Calvert's bets for the 2021 French Open, all from the renowned tennis expert who called Wawrinka winning the Australian Open at 60-1.
